# Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Paratyphi B from mute swan (Cygnus olor): complete genome sequence features point towards invasive variant potential

## TL;DR

This paper reports the complete genome of an invasive Salmonella strain from a mute swan, suggesting its potential to cause human infections.

## Contribution

The study provides a complete genome sequence of an invasive S. Paratyphi B strain from a mute swan, highlighting its zoonotic potential.

## Key findings

- The genome sequence of S. Paratyphi B from a mute swan was fully characterized.
- Genomic features suggest the strain has traits associated with invasive human infections.

## Abstract

A subgroup of Salmonella (S.) enterica subsp. enterica serovar Paratyphi B is significantly associated with invasive infections in humans. We report the complete genome sequence of a potentially invasive. S. Paratyphi B isolated from a mute swan (Cygnus olor) found dead at an urban recreation park in Berlin, Germany.
